OFYL

Since my early childhood, I have always enjoyed designing objects and imagining simple and clever solutions to improve daily life. After over 10 years working as an engineer in the industry and then in the boating industry, I decided to take control of my own destiny and market my own inventions.

Y-ply was born in 2007 to bring a bit of comfort to the beach. This backrest/headrest, which is both stylish and minimalist, has always been very successful in France and abroad.

Since 2014, with Ofyl, I have been committed to integrating a social and environmental dimension into the manufacturing of my products. They are now all locally made around La Rochelle, in rehabilitation workshops.

Earphone organizers, charger cases: the issue of tangled wires particularly fascinates me. And there is still so much to create!

Today, when people ask me what I do, I proudly say, "I am an inventor." 15 years of participation in the Concours Lépine competition really adds up! My greatest pleasure is spotting one of my products on the beach, in the street, or on public transportation...
